Curtains blowing in the wind?

[Hidden Hands]

Okay, time for another difficult request... but one I REALLY would like to pull off, but have absolutely no idea how. I want curtains, blowing about due to a broken window. In other wordes, the window in a bedroom is cracked, causing a breeze to come through into the room, causing the curtains to blow about and creating an eerie atmosphere. Can this be done? How can I pull this off?

I'm thinking a linedef with a curtain texture that's given special 3d movement properties maybe.

I'm guessing ACS... maybe not though? I can show an example of what I want if neccesary? Here is an example of what I'm trying to pull off.



Thanks in advance!

This can only be achieved with a model. Such complex animations are nothing for a texture or a sprite.

For what's possible in GZDoom, you're probably going to have to go with a canned animation of a model. From there it'll be "as simple as" defining a decoration and assigning it the model with Modeldef, but of course, the trick is getting that model made in the first place.

This, unfortunately, goes well beyond what can be achieved with lines and sectors.

Ah I see. Well this seems like something I might not be able to pull off anytime soon. Thank you all very much though for letting me know what is needed.

Making a game really helps to appreciate the hard work people that do this stuff back in the late 90s did, it's never as easy as it looks.

Its easy to do it in C4D, (and probably in Blender, idk I'm C4D user)...
Flag Example: https://youtu.be/7OheaRFFpDw (this can be also applied for curtains)

-Create low poly plane\cloth model
-Edit UV and create Texture map for your cloth model
-Follow the tutorial to apply wind animation the cloth model, tweak settings to your preference
-After that bake animation to point vertex cache and export to FBX (or OBJ sequence for use in MD3 tool)
-Use Noesis to convert from FBX to md3 animation
-Create Gzdoom actor and modeldef.
-Done

I've made this example in ~10 minutes...

Impressive, you are good

Impressive, you are good

Thanks, Cinema4D is very good for simulations like wind, cloth, water etc...
It's pain in the ass to create loop, bake animation properly into FBX and convert to MD3 tho...
(because it's physics simulation not animation...if that make any sense )

Here is the md3 (0-45 frames loop), and texture
Feel free to create your own texture, this was just an example.
Actor and modeldef is not included.

Tip: You can also animate the texture with extra frames and apply it to the animated model
...and achieve something like this:

Holy Hell on a bicycle this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my entire life......you made a PERFECT model in perfect detail of what I wanted.... I am MINDBLOWN.

May I have this please? May I use it? Credit will be given for your incredible work .

If so how do I add it into the game please!?

You are just... damn I csnt believe this. Incredible!

Wow thank you so much I appreciate more than I can say! I look forward to it I cant wait to use it. Thank you again!!!

Sorry for the late reply. Here is the pk3 file. Modeldef, Zscript, Animdef and Editor files included. (I did not test it in editor tho)
Feel free to use and modify it, actor is just a placeholder.
Just don't forget to add me to the credits.

Code: Select all

Summon curtain_new
Summon curtain_damaged
Summon curtain_destroyed

Enjoy!

Thank you so much for this! I can't wait to try it out tonight. I'll be trying it when I get home later, and of course I'll definitely add you to the games credits!

No problem. Feel free to tweak the actor files.

Based on current actors you can for example create new base "curtain_new" actor and when you shoot it it can turn to "curtain_damaged" or "curtain_destroyed" model...Just an idea....
Also, just crossed my mind.... I will create burn animation for curtains just in case you want to set them on fire or idk...

Something like this: (yeah it looks bad at the moment, this was just a test...)
